Stars paid tribute to the actor, who rose to fame as Fezco on the HBO drama, following his death at his family’s home in Oakland, Calif. He was 25.
Prior to his passing, Cloud had “intensely struggled” with the death of his father, who he buried last week, his family told E! News. Cloud’s cause of death has not been shared.
“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” his family said in a statement July 31. “As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”
Javon Walton, who played Cloud’s adoptive little brother Ashtray on Euphoria, reacted to his costar’s tragic death by sharing a picture of him hugging Cloud, writing, “rest easy brother.” On his July 31 Instagram Story, Walton captioned an image of him and Cloud embracing, “forever family.”
While sharing a clip of Cloud’s character Fezco singing to “Stand By Me” with Maude Apatow‘s Lexi, Storm Reid wrote on her Instagram Stories, “the tears just won’t stop.”

“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” Cloud’s family said in a statement. “As an artist, a friend, a brother, and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”

“Last week, he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health, and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence.”
Born on July 10, 1998, Cloud grew up in Oakland, California. The eldest of four, he attended the Oakland School for the Arts, the same high school as Zendaya, where he focused on theater tech. Cloud isn’t a trained actor by any stretch. Plucked off the street by a casting scout, who spotted him in Manhattan, Cloud found himself reading for the role of Fezco “Fez” O’Neill on HBO’s Euphoria. It was his first screen credit, and he almost missed the opportunity. “I was confused, and I didn’t want to give her my phone number,” he told GQ in 2019. “I thought it was a scam.”

Before Euphoria, Cloud moved to New York on a whim, where he worked at a “chicken and waffles joint” in Brooklyn. After two auditions for the show, he proudly called his boss to tell him he wouldn’t be in “today, tomorrow, or ever again.” The next thing he knew, he was on a first-class trip back to California, spending the entire ride “trying to learn how to act on the plane over there.”
Cloud’s ease on screen, playing the soft-spoken, drug-dealing best friend of Zendaya’s Rue, made him a fan favorite. Since Euphoria’s first season, Cloud starred in his first feature, a skateboarding drama, North Hollywood, starring Vince Vaughn and Miranda Cosgrove. He also appeared in music videos for Noah Cyrus and Juice WRLD.
Though Cloud’s personality and slow drawl led some to believe that he was just himself on screen, a criticism he took to heart.
“It does bother me,” Cloud told Variety, “when people are like, ‘It must be so easy! You get to go in and be yourself.’ I’m like, ‘Why don’t you go and do that?’ It’s not that simple. I brought a lot to the character. You can believe what you want. It ain’t got nothing to do with me.”

Angus Cloud was mourning the loss of his father at the time of his death.
The Euphoria actor, who portrayed Fezco for the first two seasons of HBO series, recently passed away at his family’s home in Oakland, Calif., just days after saying goodbye to his dad.
“It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today,” his loved ones shared in a July 31 statement to E! News. “As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways.”
“Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss,” the statement continued. “The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend.”
As his family noted in their statement, Angus—who turned 25 years old on July 11—was very open about his mental health battle over the years. “We hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone,” they added, “and should not fight this on their own in silence.”

It’s been 17 years since Saw III, the Saw movie where Tobin Bell’s Jigsaw dies by having his throat slashed with a power saw, but Jigsaw being Jigsaw, he knew that would happen and planned out a bunch of other twisted games for his victims to play if he died. Also, every movie after Saw III—save for the spin-off Spiral, which is now canonically Saw 9—has engaged in rampant flashback shenanigans, allowing Bell to keep appearing in these movies long after his death. Now, with Saw X coming later this year, director Kevin Greutert (who previously directed Saw VI and Saw 3D) is doing a full-on prequel that takes place between the events of the first two Saw movies.
SAW X (2023) Official Trailer – Tobin Bell
Set in Mexico, the movie is about Jigsaw seeking out some kind of revolutionary new treatment for the brain tumor that is slowly killing him over the course of the series (though, again, he eventually dies from having his throat slashed), but when it turns out to be a scam, he kidnaps everyone involved and… you know, does the thing he always does. He puts them through a series of gruesome tests to determine whether or not they’d rather hurt themselves in a gross way or die in a gross way.

And while Bell is now nearly 20 years older in real life than the character he’s playing here, Jigsaw doesn’t seem to have lost a step, because these gruesome tests are pretty freakin’ gruesome! They all appear to be surgery themed, not that they ever aren’t, with one apparently involving a woman cutting off her legs, one with a guy using a drill to remove a sufficient amount of brain matter from his head, and another where someone has to individually break all of their fingers before their eyes are sucked out of their head. Fun!

Tatum Thompson has made his debut on his dad Tristan Thompson‘s Instagram.
The NBA player shared photos of his and ex Khloe Kardashian‘s son for his first time on social media while paying tribute to him for his first birthday July 28. Tristan is seen smiling while holding Tatum, with both wearing sunglasses. In one pic, they look directly at each other as the toddler reaches around his dad’s face.
“Tatum!!” Tristan wrote. “Happy birthday my son! You are a reminder of what life represents to me. You have taught me every loss comes a lesson and you are my gift. You are my reminder of all of God’s messages. You are the reason that I began my story.”
The basketball player continued, “The mistakes along the way are lessons not failures. There is no expiration date to reinventing yourself. Tatum your sweet soul reminds me of God’s grace. You are a future king my son and I am so blessed to be your DaDa!”

Most recently, the duo were seen at the same London eatery in June. And to make the encounter that much more significant, who were the other attendees? None other than Leo’s parents George DiCaprio and Irmelin Indenbirken.
But despite the meet-the-parents implication, a source told E! News at the time that the two were actually attending a group event hosted by Vogue editorEdward Enninful for about 20 people at London’s Chiltern Firehouse. According to the insider, Gigi and Leonardo did not sit with each other or leave together.
So, what’s the vibe between them?
In November 2022, a separate insider told E! News, “Gigi and Leo are having a lot of fun right now. They have been trying to stay low-key and private and she has been enjoying the time they have been spending together.”

The Kardashians star went all out for her baby boy’s first birthday, decking out her home in multicolored balloons for space-themed festivities.
Clad in dark sunglasses and a white corset top, the Good American founder shared images of adorable astronaut cut-outs placed around her home, as well as fun-sized space helmets, on her Instagram Stories July 28.
“Prepare for takeoff, how cute,” Khloe wrote of the accessories, which were adorned with Tatum’s name. “These are little space helmets that the kids can take home.”
Other decorations included balloons shaped like the solar system, rockets on chairs, a play-dough station with figurines and a slime station because, as Khloe noted, “a party is not a party without our little artistry of slime.”
As for what’s on the menu at Tatum’s celestial celebration, Khloe showed a three-tiered cake with an astronaut centerpiece, mouthwatering doughnuts and cupcakes, and star-shaped French fries by their longtime private cook Chef K.

She initially alleged that she was taken by a man and woman, who forced her into a car when she approached the child and held her captive, according to Hoover police. Authorities said Russell claimed she managed to escape when her purposted kidnappers were taking her through the west Hoover area, and that she ran through the woods until finding her way back home.
However, authorities were “unable to verify” most of what Russell told them during their investigation into her disappearance, Derzis said in a July 19 press conference. But, according to Derzis, they did find internet searches made on Russell’s phone that were “very relevant” to her case, including queries about Amber Alerts and the 2008 film Taken, a Liam Neeson movie about an abduction.
“As you can see,” Derzis said at the time, “there are many questions left to be answered, but only Carlee can provide those answers.”

But when they finally did meet? “We walked in and saw each other and ran up and gave each other the biggest hugs,” Kendall added. “And it was like we’d known each other forever.”
And for Rikki, who was raised as an only child, she said it was an especially moving encounter: “It was a lot like a puzzle piece sliding into place.”
These days the sisters, now 32, live only minutes away from each other in Austin, Texas, and are only growing closer. In fact, they even host a podcast together which they’ve playfully titled, Luke, Who Is Your Father.
And they’re grateful for the bond they’ve developed as a trio, with an emotional Julianne noting, “They are just the most important people to me.”
As Kendall put it: “Being able to cultivate this really unique relationship has just been the best thing we all could have done.”

“Yes, a few months ago Rosi and I ended our engagement,” he wrote in Spanish on Instagram Stories July 26. “There are thousands of problems that could cause a breakup, but in our case it was not due to third parties or infidelity.”
As for why he decided to speak up, Rauw explained that he didn’t want cheating rumors to smear his two-year romance with the “Despechá” singer.
“During the space that I am taking to assimilate all of this, erroneous public allegations have emerged,” the 30-year-old added, “and out of the respect I have for her, our families and all that we lived through, I could not stay silent and continue to watch how they try to destroy the story of the most real love that God has permitted me to live.”

Kelly Ripa took to Instagram to share a picture of husband Mark Consuelos showing off his six-pack while sunbathing in the pool. The Riverdale actor can be seen with his head on the steps, rocking black swim trunks and sunglasses.
She teased fans underneath the July 24 post alongside a water emoji, saying, “It’s that time of year again.”
In the comment section, followers rushed to share their approval, with stylist Brad Goreski writing, “Mark is hot 365 days a year baby,” and comedian Gary Janetti chiming in, “I [heart emoji] Summer Mark.”
But Kelly is no stranger to gushing over her hubby—shirtless or not—on the ‘gram, as back in May she took a moment to cheers her other half on their wedding anniversary.
“27 years … in 27 seconds!” the Live host captioned her May 2 post. “Happy Anniversary to my beloved.”

The “Say So” singer didn’t hold back when she called out her own fandom over its name, writing on Threads over the weekend, “my fans don’t name themselves s–t.”
“If you call yourself a ‘Kitten’ or f–king ‘Kittenz’ that means,” she continued, as seen in screenshots circulating on social media, “you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.”
And when her scathing comment drew ire, Doja Cat doubled down on her stance against the fandom name. After a fan site asked “what should i change my name to since you dont like the term kitten,” the 27-year-old replied, “just delete the entire account and rethink everything.”
Doja Cat also had some heated words when a fan asked her to reassure the fandom that she still loves them. “I wanna hear you say (I do love you guys) As usual you say to your fans,” the fan wrote, prompting the Grammy winner to bluntly reply, “i don’t though cuz i don’t even know y’all.”

We heard just last week that Dwayne Johnson is apparently getting $50 million to star in the upcoming Prime Video holiday movie Red One, which would be the biggest paycheck an actor has ever gotten for a single production—not counting any bonuses—and would also solidify Johnson’s regular position at the top of the list of highest-paid actors in any given year (not counting the year George Clooney topped the list by selling his tequila company). But The Rock isn’t just sitting on his gold and jewels like a dragon in a fantasy novel, waiting for some adventurer to come in and haul off his treasure hoard. No, he’s actually doing at least one nice thing with it!

According to Courtney B. Vance, head of the SAG-AFTRA Foundation (a non-profit organization that is not officially part of the union but, among other things, helps SAG-AFTRA members with financial relief during hard times), Johnson made a “major, historic” donation to the foundation’s Emergency Financial Assistance Program right after the strike was called. How major and how historic? Well, nobody will say the specific number, but it’s in the seven figures, and foundation executive director Cyd Wilson says it’s the “largest single donation” they’ve ever received from one person at one time. So it’s pretty major and pretty historic.

Wilson also toldVariety that Johnson’s donation will help “thousands of actors keep food on their table, and keep their kids safe, and keep their cars running,” explaining that most SAG-AFTRA members don’t even get paid enough acting to cover health insurance and have to work second or third jobs to pay their bills, so big donations like this during the strike can help them avoid “financial ruin.” Wilson also noted that it’s “not lost” on him that Johnson is being “very humble about this,” and that is worth pointing out.
The man is a former wrestler and has always been a proud self-promoter, so it’s nice that he did this good thing for striking actors just for the sake of doing a good thing (the SAG-AFTRA Foundation also hopes that this will inspire other rich actors to open their wallets, which would be good). Plus, we can all probably agree that we’ve been a little tired of seeing this guy lately, since Dave Bautista is a better wrestler-turned-actor and John Cena tends to be a funnier wrestler-turned-actor, but this could go a long way in making us like him again. Not far enough for us to reappraise Black Adam, but far enough that we might be a little more excited to see him in a Fast And Furious movie again.

Rami Malek has proven to be a scene-stealer in “Oppenheimer” — something his biggest fans are ecstatic about … especially considering his mixed-bag journey in Hollywood.
The Oscar-winning actor is one of several stars with a smaller role in Nolan‘s latest feature — which is getting rave reviews. Ditto for a lot of the supporting performances, including RM … who shows up for an impactful monologue at a critical moment in the movie.
Towards the end I said to myself;
“Wow Devon Bostick, the guy from Diary of a Wimpy Kid, got more lines than Josh Peck and Rami Malek combined.”
And then this scene came on. Malek only needed two minutes to drop the audience’s jaw all the way down to the floor. https://t.co/jZNufxkhLB
SPOILERS AHEAD!!! … Rami’s big scene comes toward the end, when Robert Downey Jr. is revealed to be the bad guy — who’s trying to smear Cillian Murphy/Oppenheimer. Rami sits in as a witness in front of Congress, and he backs Oppenheimer in emphatic terms.
Essentially, his character — who only had a couple of lines up until this point — turns out to be a major game-changer in the trajectory of the film … and it happens at the drop of a dime.
christopher nolan really helped us retired rami malek stans win the war with his Oppenheimer performance like thank YOU pic.twitter.com/MhgpmXSoSt
While brief, his work is getting hailed as a standout in a flick packed with talent — especially on Twitter, where folks are (jokingly) saying they were right to hold onto their Rami Malek stock … ’cause he’s great. His resume of late hasn’t always reflected that, unfortunately.
Fact is … Rami’s ascension in showbiz has, at times, felt stunted — even after he won Best Actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody” … which was controversial. Some felt he didn’t deserve the win that year … of course, others disagreed.
Point is — since then, he hasn’t really blown up the way people thought he would, or should … instead getting sprinkled into movies here and there, somewhat unremarkably.
However, now … a lot of his supporters feel vindicated by what he did in ‘Oppenheimer,’ and are hoping he’ll be put back on the leading man trajectory that they feel he deserves.
Funny enough, Rami is far from the only actor receiving attention for their part in “Oppenheimer.” Frankly, there are several actors who did stellar jobs — and there are rumblings Cillian, RDJ and maybe even Matt Damon are in for Oscar noms come Spring.

Blake Shelton has gone on the record to support Jason Aldean amid his new song controversy … at least that’s what a satire site wants you to believe, anyway.
Here’s the deal … Blake is trending this weekend, and it’s all because of this fake article that has him quoted as explicitly backing Aldean amid the whole “Try That In A Small Town” fracas — which has divided a lot of people, especially after the music video was released.
Blake Shelton Cancels $30 Million Project With CMT. CMT tried to cancel Jason Aldean and ban his video. Go woke go broke. CMT also turned their last music awards into a trans show. It’s time for them to go bankrupt. Just how I feel. https://t.co/nB2V2Fs7MC
The story comes from a site called The Dunning-Kruger Times — which labels itself as “America’s Last Line of Defense.” This article of theirs is headlined as such … “Blake Shelton Cancels $30 Million Project With CMT: ‘Jason Is My Friend.'” The problem … it’s a BS piece.
The reason we know this — aside from the fact this is literally the only “media outlet” reporting such a story — is that DKT itself calls itself a website that’s just for laughs.
Their “About Us” page spells it out clearly … “Dunning-Kruger-Times.com is a subsidiary of the ‘America’s Last Line of Defense’ network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery, or as Snopes called it before they lost their war on satire: Junk News.” AKA, it’s one big fat joke.
Although this site has openly laid out their intentions — namely, laughing at conservatives — folks on the right have ran with this fake story regardless … lifting it up as a rallying cry.
While Blake and Jason have certainly been on friendly terms in the past … the former has not said anything about all the hubbub his new song/video has caused — and yet, it appears folks genuinely believe he’s on Jason’s side. Unfortunately for them, there’s no truth to it.
Strangely enough, this article hasn’t been hit with a fact check on Twitter yet … something Elon and co. have seemingly gone out of their way to do for needed context. Bizarre, indeed.

George, the second-in-line to the U.K. throne, wears snazzy teal trousers and a buttoned shirt with his sleeves rolled up in the photo, which shows him relaxing on a stone staircase.
Less than two weeks later, the royal family honored her at a state funeral, where George and Charlotte were the youngest mourners following her coffin during the procession, walking behind their parents.
George later served as one of King Charles‘ eight Pages of Honour during the new monarch’s May coronation. In fact, George made history as the first future king to assume a role during a royal coronation.

Christine Tran Ferguson is facing an unimaginable loss.
The Tour de Lust influencer shared that her son Asher, who she welcomed with husband Ryan Ferguson, died following a fight “for his life in the ICU” two weeks ago. He was 15 months old.
“My heart is utterly broken and shattered into a million pieces,” Christine captioned an Instagram carousel July 20. “I will never understand why, nothing makes sense, I’m still in shock, I just want to wake up from this unimaginable nightmare and have you back in my arms. Why is this happening to us, why Asher?? You did not deserve any of this.”
Christine, who has not shared a cause of death, said Asher’s passing was “the hardest experience mommy and daddy has ever had to endure.”
“Everyday has been torture without you, this pain is unbearable,” said Christine, who often shared pictures of her family life with Asher. “I still feel like you’re going to reappear but our home is so quiet and empty without you. Part of me has died with you. I’m so heartbroken, with no idea how to live a life without you.”
